Well, been getting this one ready for a while. 350 Chevrolet crate, Doug Thorley headers, BB oil pump, roller timing chain, Edelbrock 600 cfm and 4-bolt main. Otherwise stock except the bling bling and blower. E.T.C. about June. Need a concrete floor on the soon to come building. (Ain't rolling stuff around on the grass and gravel any longer.) To time consuming and to much extra effort involved.

Well, the '73 is my DD so I was thinking '75, if it is problem free, maybe swap to the DD and get a 383 or sumptin' then.

It's only like 4 psi with the pulley I got. Not sure of the Torque/Horsepower as there are so many variables. I had to get a MSD box which retards timing as the boost comes up.
 
Why is there a muffler sitting on the intake under the carb? :confused:





















Anyway it does look awful purdy. :grin:

I have a spacer so I can pull vacuum for the brake booster.
Or ya mean the B&M muffler?:haha:
 
I don't know alot about anything but I don't think the exhaust is gonna flow too good with the end capped like that. :confused: :xmas:
 
It is a belt driven muffler. It spins up and pops out when the pressure reaches 159 PSI.
